Fighting hunger one block at a time with rescued food. We are a charitable organization on a mission to end hunger!
About us
We are the charitable organization on a mission to put an end to hunger and reduce food waste...starting with our own COMMUNITIES. Why it matters? In the United States nearly 50 million people live in food insecure households; over 15 million of those are children. 62% of those people turn to some type of federal program for assistance each year. Oftentimes, food insecure households have to choose between eating and paying for essential utilities like gas and electricity. Hunger is on our street, on our watch - in our community. Fight2Feed wants to challenge hunger by recovering food from restaurants, commercial kitchens, food trucks, and retailers, and in return provide nourishing meals to those facing food insecurity. By leveraging the food supply chain, we can reduce waste and feed our neighborhoods in need.

To know these community meals have been created from 100% rescued foods, always brings us joy and sense of accomplishment. We have an incredible purpose in our kitchen especially when we see the faces of gratitude when you share a meal with a complete stranger. We may only see them for that one meal but to know we somehow impacted their day, it's priceless. We are always in need of leadership and good humans to help us continue our mission to serve our community in need while reducing food waste. There are many ways to join our village and be a part of our journey. Start at your pace and do what you can, it's truly worth the trip! Have time to support us in the kitchen?

Fight2Feed started in March of 2014 with the purpose of serving our community a meal to those who were in need. On our dime, on our time and in our community. Along our journey we have connected with wonderful like minded humans and organizations. Today our work covers more ground than we ever imagined and we would not be here without some of our like minded partnerships. Thank you Misfits Market for your continued support and look how far we have come together. Want to support us Reduce Food Waste?

We are grateful to have been invited for the 3rd year to the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago this year as a part of their sustainability initiative. Thanks to our amazing #EssentialVolunteers and partners McCormick Place and a few Fight2Feed supporting vendors Kraft Heinz ENTEGRA Lund's Fishery, United Installers Plumbing Libbey, Dr. Pepper Foods, North Carolina, and Air Carbon, we had a record #NRA food and items rescue this year. The most amazing part of this year's event for us was we were able to share 21 pallets the same day we rescued! Thanks to our awesome Volunteer Leads, our 21 pallets supported Grace to Share, Faith Acres, Camp Lake Geneva, Cuba Food Pantry, Elgin Holy Trinity and Veterans of Lake Zurich. Our awesome team was able to turn some of our rescue items into hot community meals in 48 Hours of our rescue. These rescue items will be a part of over 800 hot meals this Saturday! We've come a long way since 2014 and we could not be here without the village of support that show up every day with the same passion for serving our community in need while reducing food waste.

It's been a crazy few weeks and we can't be more excited for our growing opportunities! Fight2Feed volunteer team Pablo, Jeanine and McKena were hired last week to staff a catering event at Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly, Chicago Chapter. #Fight2Feed leads Vee and Burger Alley Chicago Chef Jeffrey Benzon created this amazing spread showcasing what awesome talents we are networked with at Fight2Feed. All we can say is how Delightfully Delicious! As we volunteer together, we always find ways to help each other while we serve our community in need. You never know who you're serving next to in the #Fight2Feed kitchen. We're always in need of "Hands in the Kitchen". Come join us, be connected with some GREAT humans and our family meals are always something to talk about. 😋 We look forward to creating more opportunities with our awesome village of talented #Fight2Feed #EssentialVolunteers.
